    Our server was excellent in advising about the menu & what was available. Didn’t have to ask for beverages to be refilled & other staff was also right on top of removing plates when needed. The food was excellent and our server made our visit even better. The food is top quality.

    It was Christmas Eve, and the place was packed, so my expectations weren’t high. On top of that, we were about 45 minutes early due to an unexpectedly brief church service. Teresa, the manager, went out of her way to seat us despite our designated table being occupied. Service got off to a slow start due to the rush, but Sarah picked up the ball and service was great. Food, as always was outstanding - steak frites was a preparation I’d not had before, and my wife’s salmon and my daughter’s ono were both excellent. Overall, a great experience.

    Had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at the Water Bar. We ordered off the regular dinner menu Steak & Lobster for me and Prime Rib for hubby. Both were cooked as requested and served in a timely manner. Server was very attentive and kept water glasses full and drinks served promptly. Ambience was nice and festive and we had a great table with view of the marina. Highly recommend!!!
